7-5-13 - Brady Aiken, LHP,
Cathedral Catholic HS (CA) - One of the youngest players in the 2014 MLB draft,
the 6’-4” southpaw is an alumni of Team USA Baseball and is very polished on
the mound. His fastball sits in the low 90s, and both his curveball and
change-up are solid offerings. He has great control of his pitches and
dominated at The Tournament of Stars, striking out seven over three scoreless
innings. He had a 1.18 ERA and 80 K/25 BB over 53.1 innings as a junior for a
team that included 2013 fourth-round pick Stephen Gonsalves. Committed to UCLA.

7-24-13 - 5.
Brady Aiken, lhp/of, Cathedral Catholic, San Diego/San Diego Show - At
6-foot-4, 205 pounds with broad shoulders and room to carry more weight, Aiken
has an ideal pitcher’s build. He has a quick arm, clean arm action and hides
the ball well from a high three-quarters arm slot. His fastball sits 89-92 mph
and will touch 93 with downhill plane. Aiken has a curveball with tight 1-to-7
rotation, making it one of the best breaking balls in the class at its best.
His low-80s with fade changeup shows the makings of an above-average offering.
Aiken repeats his fluid delivery well and has good control. He is a two-way
player as an outfielder. Aiken, a UCLA commit, is young for the class and will
be 17 on draft day. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/tyler-koleks-heavy-fastball-among-tournament-of-stars-standouts/
7-25-13 – Top 30 High School
Prospects For 2014 Draft - 29. Brady Aiken, LHP, Cathedral Catholic HS (CA) -
6'4/210, Draft Day Age: 17.81, UCLA commit, Full Report & Video - Quick
Take: Aiken has been scouted a lot, coming from a top program as mentioned
above and is a big lefty among the youngest in the class, so there's a lot to
like. His stuff is more average now, working 88-92 with a solid curveball and
changeup but the feel to pitch is good and he's not a bad prospect as a right
fielder with good athleticism, some power and a plus arm http://sbb.scout.com/2/1310090.html

8-16-13 - 11th All-American
Classic - Brady Aiken (LHP, Cathedral Catholic HS (San Diego, CA): Excellent
size; major-league body; high three-quarters slot with a high front side;
deliberate with the leg lift and plant; pretty easy and repeatable; pace was
inconsistent and he struggled with runners on; slow release around 1.50 seconds
to plate with runners on; fastball comfortable at 91-92 with some sink; long,
tumbling curve at 73-74; good feel for the offering; fastball command limited
the pitch. —Jason Parks http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=21537

athletic Aiken has a projectable pitcher’s build. His fastball sat 87-91 mph
from a high three-quarter arm slot. The UCLA commit has a 71-75 mph curveball
with 1-7 tilt that is one of the better breaking balls in the class. Aiken

Aiken (LHP) 6’4″ 205; 2014 Large frame w/strong, athletic build. Exceptional
athlete also plays CF. Good projection body that looks the part on the mound.
Simple delivery remains online for pinpoint command. Loose HTQ arm uses present
5/future 6FB w/future 60 command. Lives on top of BB w/confident arm side spot
and downplane. Late breaking CB w/12:6 shape. Advanced feel for CH sells with
same arm speed and tumbling effect; misses bats. Finishes all his pitches and
lives down in the zone. Showed mound savvy where game came very EZ for him.
Strong follow; 3-pitch mix starter material.

16 – LHP Brady Aiken – Cathedral
Catholic (CA) HS – 6-4 frame, Aiken is going to be a great major league
pitcher. Had a great summer at the 11th All-American Classic and the Area Code
Games. Every scout was wowed by his control… 91-92 fastball… 73-74 curve. He
also will be one of the youngest players in the 2014 draft. Could easily wind
up a top 10 pick.

11-14-13 - Michael Schwartze -
Arms Dominate Class One of the biggest strengths of this year’s class is the
quality and depth of frontline starting pitching. After the summer, it appears
as if as many as 10 high school pitchers could go in the first round. The top
prep lefty in the class may be Brady Aiken (Cathedral Catholic/San Diego,
Calif.) who had a dominant summer while showing great stuff, including a
low-90s fastball, improving curveball and an advanced changeup. He has a
smooth, low effort delivery and a projectable, 6-foot-4, 205-pound frame. He
commanded both secondary offerings well and both project as swing-and-miss
offerings. http://www.studentsports.com/blog/2013/11/13/baseball-jupiter-wraps-up-2013-showcase-circuit/
